Many anec- dotes she told me of celebrities who had, in the words of one of them, ‘left their country for their coun- try’s good. With most, if not all, of these ce- lebrities, the old lady had come in contact personally. ‘One morning ’â€"-â€"she beganâ€"‘ I was sitting in my drawlug-room with my two little children, who are new middle aged men with large families, when a gentleman was an- nounced. lgave the orderfor his' admission, and on his entering the door ofthe apartment. I rose from my chair and greeted him with a, bow, which he returned with the The story ended, the stranger replaced the children on the carpet, and approached the table, on which stood, in aporcelain vase a bouquet of flowers. These be admired, and began to discourse on floricul- ture. I listened with intense eagerness, so profound and lucid were his observations. We were standing at the table for at least eight or ten minutes; my boys hanging on the skirts of my dress, and every now and then compel- ling me to beg of them to be silent. One o’clock came, but not the Major. I received, however, a note from him in pencil, on a slip of paper. He would be detaian at the Government House until half' past two. Again I requested the fascinating individual to partake of luncheon. which was on the table in the next room, and again, with the same winning smile, he declined. As he was about, asI thought, to depart, I extended my hand, but to my astonishment he stepped back, made a low bow, and declined taking it- For a gentleman to have his hand refused when he extends it to another, is embarrassing enough, but for a lady! Who can possibly describe what were my feelings 1â€"- Had he been the heir apparent to the British throne visiting the pen- al settlements in disguiseâ€"and from the strangers manner and conversation he might have been that illustrious personageâ€"he could scarcely, under the circumstances, have treated me in such an extra- ordinary manner. [scarcely knew what to think. Observing, as the stranger must have, the blood” rush to my cheeks, and being evidently cognizant, of What was passing in my mind, the stranger spoke as follows : ‘Madam, I am afraid you Wil never forgive me the liberty I have taken already. But the truth is, the passion suddenly stole over me, and I could not resist the temptation of satisfying myself that the skill which had rendered me so conspi- cuous in the mother country still remained in this convict land.’ I stared at him, but did not speak. ‘Madam,’ he continued, ‘the penalty of sitting at table r‘with you or taking the hand you paid me the compliment to proffer mPSI gracefu’ manner imaginable- me, yourselfin ignorance of th‘b fact HES dress WE‘S lhal Of a "13“ 0f fa-'lI am about to disclose, would have shion, and his hearing that of a per- 1 been me forfeiture of my ticketof. son who had moved in the highestjieave, a hundred lashes, and em- circles of soniety.

He took a chair opposite me, and at once entered into conâ€" versation, mentioning among the first topics the extreme warmth of the day, and the second the healthy appearance of my charming chil- dren, as he was pleased to call them. Apart from a mother’s likâ€" ing to hear her children praised. there was such refinement in the stranger’s manner, such a seeming sincerity in all he said, added to such marvellous neatness of expres- sion, that I thought he would prove a very valuable addition to our list of acquaintances. provided he intended staying in Sydney, instead of settling in the interior of the colony. i I expressed my regret that the Major (my husband) was away from home ; but I mentioned that I expected him at one o’clock, at which hour we took luncheon, and I further expressed a hope that our visitor would remain and partake of With a very bland smile â€"-which I afterwards discovered had more meaning in it than I was aware ofâ€"hc feared that he could not have the pleasure of partaking of the hospitalities of my table, but with my permission he would wait until the appointed hour, which was near at hand. Our conversation was resumed, and presently he asked my little ones to come to him. They obeyed at once, al- though they were rather shy chil- dren. This satisfied me that the stranger was a man of mild and gentle disposition. the meal. As it is, I dread the Major’s wrath ; but I cherish the hope that you will endeavor to appease, if your advo- cacy be only a return for the brief amusements I afforded your beauti-i ful children. ‘You are a convict,‘ I said inâ€" dignantly, putting my hand upon the bell-rope. ‘ A convicted felon, how dared you enter my drawiiig~room as a visitor?’ I asked him, my anger getting the better of my feelings. ‘The Major, Madam,’ said the stranger, ‘requested me to be at the house at the hour when I pre- sented myself; and he bade mo wait if he were away when Icalled. The Major wishes to know who re- ceived from me a diamond necklace belonging to the Marchioncss of Dorrington, which came into my possession at a state ball, some four or five years ago, at which I had the honor of being present. ~- New, Madam, when the orderly who opened the door, informed me that the Major was absent, but that you were in, that indomitable impudence pocket, and this is the hand which in its day has plucked from ladies of rank and wealth jewels which re- alized upwards of thirty-five thou- sand pounds, irrespective of those which were in my possession; un- der lock and key, when fortune turned her back upon me. Barrington! the pickpocket.â€" Having heard so much of this man and his almost magical exploits-- although of course I had never seen himâ€"thatl could not help regard- ing him with curiosity, so much so that I could scarcely be angry with him any longer. He continued, ‘Madam, I have told you that I longed to satisfy my- self whether the skill that rendered me so illustrious in Europe still re- mained to me in this country, after six years of quietude. 1 can con- scientiously say that I am just as perfect in the art, that the touch is juSt as soft and the nerve as steady as when I sat in the dress circle at Covent Garden or Drury Lane.’ ‘I do not comprehend you.

My anger was again aroused.» Indeed, I thought it was an outrage- ous liberty for a convict to practice his skill upon me, and put his hand into the pocket of my dress, but before I could request him to leave the room and the house, he spoke again; and as soon as I heard his voice, and looked into his face, I was mollified, and against my will, as it were, obliged to listen to him. 7 I could not ‘Ah, madam, he sighed, ‘such is the change that comes over the affairs of men. There was a time when ladies boasted of having been robl ed by Burlington. Many whom I had never robbed gave it out that I had doze so, merely that they might be talked about. Alas, such is the weakness of poor human na- ture, that some individuals care not by what means they associate their names with any celebrity. I was in power then, not in bondage.-â€"â€" The old duchcss of Kettlebank once exclaimed, 'Barrington has my dia- mond ear-rings, clasping her hands. Her ladyship’s statements were not true. Her diamonds were paste, and she knew it, and I caused them to be returned to her. Had you not a pair of very small pearl drops in your ears this morning, madam 3’ I placed my hands to my ears, and discovered the drops were gone. Again my anger returned, and I said : ‘ How dared you, sir. place your fingers on my face I’ ‘Upon my sacred word and lie- nor, madam, I did not,’ he replied, placing his hand upon his left breast, and bowing. ‘ The car is the most delicate part of the human body to the touch of another person. Had I touched your cars, my hope of having those drops in my waistcoat pocket would have been gone. It was only the springs that I touched, and the drops fell into my left hand} He placed the ear-rings on the table and made another bow. ‘Ahd how did you take my ear-. rings?’ I enquired. ‘ W'hen we stood at the table dis- coursing of floriculturc, you had occasion to stoop forward that you' might correct one of your beautiful Wthh SO one“ carried “09 into tllelchildren who had been interrupting drawing-room of the aristocracy of! me, 1 stretched out mv hand, and Our Country, l00k P0553590“ 0f me. in a moment the jewelsiwere in my and warmed as I was with generous possession, It was a delicate ope.

I withdrew to the passage, where I could overhear all that took place. ‘Now look here, Barrington,’ said my husband, impetuously, ‘I’ll have no more nonsense. As for a free pardon, or even a conditional pardon, at present it is out of the question. In getting out a ticket-of- leave I have done all I can ; and as lam a living manI give you fair warning that if you do not keep faith with mel will undo what I have done already. A free pardon? What! let you loose upon the so- cietv of Europe again? The Col- onial Secretary would scout the idea, and severely censure the Go- vernor for recommending such a thing! You know as Well asl do that if you retuined to England to- morrow. and had an income of five thousand a year, you would never be able to keep those fingers of yours quiet.’ ‘Well, I think you are right, Major,’ said the illustrious Bar- rington. ‘ Then you will write that letter at once I’ ‘I will, but on one condition.’ - ‘ Another condition.’ ‘ Yes.’ ‘ Well, what is it? You have so many conditions that I begin to think the necklace will not be fortit- coming after all. And if not, byâ€"’ ‘ Do not excite yourself to anger. I give you my honorâ€"3 ‘Your honor, nonsense. What Iwant is the jewel restored to its owner.’ , ‘ And it shall be, on condition that you will not be offended at me for what I have done this day. ‘ \Vhat is that?’ ‘ Summon your wife, and let her bear witness for me and against me.’ My husband opened the drawing- room door and called out ‘ Bessie.’ As soon as [made my appear» ance, Barrington stated the case-â€" all that had transpired with minute accuracy; nay, more, he acted the entire scene, in such a way that it became a little comedy in itself, the characters being himself, my- self, and the children, all of which characters he represented with such humor that myself and husband were seVeral times in fits of laugh- ter. Barrington, however, did not even smile. He affected to re- gard the little dramaâ€"~and this made it more amusingâ€"as a very serious business. The play over, my husband again put to Barrington the question, ‘ Will you write that letter at once 1" ‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘I will, for I see I am forgiven the liberty I was tempted to take.’ And seating himself at the table he wrote as follows : ‘ Mr. Barrington presents his compliments to Mr.~â€"â€"~, and re- quests that a sealed packet marked ‘D. N. No. 27,’ be immediately given to the bearer of this note-â€" In the event of this not being comâ€" plied with, Mr. Barrington will have an opportunity ere long of explaining to Mr. â€"â€" in Sydney, New South Wales. that be (Mr. â€"â€"â€"â€") has been guilty of an act of egrigious folly.’ Fourteen months passed away, when one morning my husband re- ceived a letter from a gentleman in the Colonial Office. He clapped his hands, cried ‘bravo,’ and read to me as follows : MY DEAR MAJon,-â€"The great pickpocket has been as good as his word, and my lady is now in pos- session of her brilliants, Do what- ever you can for Barrington in the colony, but keep a sharp eye on him, lest he should come back, 1and once more get hold of the neck- lace.’ - My husband sent for Barrington to inform him of the result of his letter; and he took an opportunity of asking the illustrious man if there were any other valuables he would like to restore to the original owners. "Thank you sirâ€"no,’ was the reply. ‘ There are, it is true, sun- dry little articles in safe custody at home; and as it is impossible to say What may be in the future, they had better for the present stand in my own name.’ ‘I’rcvention is better than cure,” as the taken in this room the condition of [\Iajm, who in order to keep his pig said when it ran away with all its might, my glvmg the information that will appointment with Ban-infirm“. had to escape the killing attentions ofthe pork F16 lock Ihell‘fiSiOl’e to [I18 Marchioness OI DOI- contrived to get away fro”) the Go- bumllerv wJV .a Miss Jones says she only wears crino- line for form’s sake.
